Hinsdale Central Holiday Tournament Preview 2025!!!!!

As usual quality tournament with Joe Spagnola running the event. Should be some even teams but there are a couple of favorites. Here we go:

FAVORITE: St Laurence (Burbank): 11th ranked team in Chicago Area, has a lot of young talent. Start with junior Markese Peoples aka The Peep Show leading the way. Fellow junior Reggie Stevens is a long range sniper. Sophomore point guard Noah Corro will be key to controlling the tempo. Sophomore Jeremiah Toney is a slashing athlete that can open up a game.

SECOND FAVORITE: East (Oswego); 18th ranked team in Chicago Area is led by DePaul commit Mason Lockett IV. Junior Dshaun Bolden is a King of Bounce athlete that will crash the glass. Key is getting a consistent third scorer and that could be senior Michael Rembert.

DARK HORSE: East (Plainfield): They have talent in senior scorer Alijah Little and all around talent junior wing KJ Miller. Senior Chris Tchoffa is a rebounding machine.
